CHIMNEY ROCK TRAIL OVERNIGHT BACKPACK 4/7/23 TO 4/8/23
We decided to start our hike at the Chimney Rock Trailhead for a relaxing one night camp that had very little elevation change. The trailhead is just off highway 24 and very easy to find. The parking was a little iffy so you may have to wait for someone to leave in […]
CHINLE TRAIL ZION WILDERNESS BACKPACK OVERNIGHT 4/1/23 TO 4/2/23
This overnight backpack trip was all part of a very large Utah vacation that included visiting several different parks. This was the first of three backpacking trips on this entire vacation.

Zirkel Circle Overnight Backpack 9/3/22 to 9/4/22
This was officially my first backpack trip in the Colorado wilderness and was well worth it. I have been to Estes Park quite a few times and did quite a bit of hiking and fly fishing in that vicinity but this is what I wanted to do for a long time. Definitely worth it! […]
7/29/23 HIKE UP RAINBOW FALLS TRAIL UP – BULLHEAD TRAIL DOWN
It had been a few years so I was overdue for a hike up to Mt. Leconte. It’s always calling! Such a beautiful mountain and so many trails to get there. Never gets old. So we took the Rainbow Falls Trail up but decided to hike Bullhead Trail on the way down. Now, I […]
ALBRIGHT GROVE TRAIL – OLD SETTLERS TRAIL 7/28/23

MUSEUM OF THE MOUNTAIN MEN PINEDALE, WYOMING
I discovered the Museum of the Mountain Men on a recent trip to Pinedale, Wyoming. This was the hub city for my friends and I for a backpack trip to the wind river range. So much to see but I took limited pictures. I strongly recommend a visit to this museum if […]
CCC PONDS – PINEDALE, WYOMING
Recently, my friends and I visited and stayed in Pinedale, Wyoming in our travels to the wind river range. This town turned out to have some nice surprises for us in the form of the CCC Ponds park. Just a small park but a good example of good old Wyoming […]
ROAN MOUNTAIN BACKPACK TRIP 5/29/21 TO 5/31/21
I had hiked Roan Mountain several years ago and it was pretty incredible so I’ve been anxious to get back and do it again. Well, Memorial Day weekend seemed like the right time do do it again – but I was a little off, lol. Should have waited a month because it […]
